ALDI overtakes Amazon on grocery

Batavia, Ill.-based ALDI has come out on top of the much feared Seattle-based Amazon in Store Brands’ sister publication Progressive Grocer’s annual Top 50 grocers list.

Other top grocers, such as Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons, have all poured resources into things like online shopping services, home delivery, autonomous vehicles, sophisticated shopping apps and strategic partnerships to enhance their appeal to consumers, according to Progressive Grocer.

On this year’s Super 50, several regional and independent operators rose through the ranks, with merger and acquisition activity creating some elbow room in the rankings.
